The thefts in Clarksville range from a $19 dress a woman ordered on Amazon to three boxes of cigarillos, valued at $1,000. In both cases, the United States Postal Service had tracking information showing the packages had been delivered.

In at least one case, a suspect was arrested.

On Nov. 29, a man flagged down police near the intersection of Lafayette Road and Monarch Street. He said a suspicious person had taken a package from a Charlemagne Street home and was walking down the road. Police located a man with a package under his arm and asked him if the package was his.

"Probably not," he said, according to a police report.

The Amazon package was addressed to a woman with a Charlemagne Street address.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the community’s help in identifying the person responsible for thefts that occurred in the Hidden Springs subdivision.

Two homes in the 1100 block of Meachem Drive had packages stolen off their front porch.

The first theft occurred on 2:35 p.m. Sunday. A suspect was seen on video surveillance approaching the home and removing a package left on the front porch.

The second theft occurred sometime between 1:45 p.m. Sunday 6 p.m. and Monday. According to an MCSO news release, the homeowner received a notification that three packages had been delivered to his home but when he arrived home the packages were missing.

Items stolen from the second home include an UGG bomber jacket, North Face jacket, Kuhl tactical pants and vest and other clothing.

MCSO Spokeswoman Sandra Brandon said consumers can take steps to help prevent thefts.

"This time of year, criminals will look for easy targets," she said. "Try to be conscientious of when packages are being delivered to your home.Take advantage of scheduled delivery times some companies offer. Ask neighbors to sign for packages if they are home during the day. Also, if your supervisor allows, have packages delivered to your workplace."

Anyone with information about the Meachem Drive cases is asked to contact the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office at 931-648-0611.

Information from the city or county can be reported by using the Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline at 931-645-TIPS or visiting the Crime Stoppers website at p3tips.com/591.
